Processing intents

Each time you create or reset a workmod, you associate it with a processing intent. The intent determines the services and options that are valid for the workmod.

CREATEW and RESETW require you to specify the processing intent using the INTENT parameter. The two values are:

BIND: The workmod is bound before being saved or loaded. All binder functions can be requested.
ACCESS: The workmod is not bound before being saved or loaded. No services that might alter the size or structure of the program module can be requested.

Table 1 lists each call and indicates whether it is required, optional, or not allowed within a workmod of either processing intent.

FUNCTION	INTENT=BIND	INTENT=ACCESS
ADDA	Optional	Optional
ALIGNT	Optional	Not allowed
ALTERW	Optional	Not allowed
AUTOCALL	Optional	Not allowed
BINDW	Required	Not allowed
CREATEW	Required	Required
DELETEW	Optional	Optional
DLLR	Optional	Optional
ENDD	Required	Required
GETC	Optional	Optional
GETD (see note 1)	Optional	Optional
GETE (see note 2)	Optional	Optional
GETN (see note 3)	Optional	Optional
IMPORT	Optional	Not allowed
INCLUDE (see note 4)	Required	Required
INSERTS	Optional	Not allowed
LOADW	Optional	Optional
ORDERS	Optional	Not allowed
RENAME	Optional	Not allowed
RESETW	Optional	Optional
SAVEW	Optional	Optional
SETL	Optional	Not allowed
SETO (see note 5)	Optional	Optional
STARTD	Required	Required
STARTS	Optional	Not allowed

Note:

If INTENT=BIND, the module must be bound before GETD calls can be executed.
If INTENT=BIND, the module must be bound before GETE calls can be executed.
If INTENT=BIND, the module must be bound before GETN calls can be executed.
If INTENT=ACCESS, only one module can be included in a workmod. If INTENT=BIND, DDNAME and optionally MEMBER must be specified.
If INTENT=ACCESS, many of the options can be ignored.
